"My mother used to have a very

doctors called an eczema, and for it I
had two different doctors. Her head
was very sore and her hair nearly all

did. One day her niece came in and
they were speaking of how ber hair
was falling out and the doctors did it
no good.1 She says, 'Aunt, why don't

OIL DISTRIBUTION
AN EXACT SCIENCE
Fully a Million Dollars a Wee < in
Foraign Geld Comes to This
Country to Pay For Standard's
Product That is Peddled to tho
Doors of Hutand Palaee.Aoecrd
In'g to the Rockefeller Ran of
International Barter
This Rockefeller Foundation, to
make a story of it. is in reality just
this-it is the dream of a poor boy
come true. It is the happy ending
of an American novel of real life. It
is the climax of one of the most dra
matic and impressive careers that
this country, or any other, has over
known.
The dream-or the novel or dra
ma, whichever you like-began more
than half a century ago. It began in
a shabby little boarding house in
Cleveland, in the brain of a lad of
eighteen who was clerking for a
shipping and real estate company.
There were at that time about a
million other American boys of the
same age, and not many of tbejn had
received fewer privileges than this
one- He had been educated partly
in the public schools, but mainly at
home, by his mother and father. His
pay, at this time, was sixty cents a
day. Hi? hours of labor were from
breakfast until bedtime. For his
room and meals he was paying $1 a
week, so that. his net income-the
basis of hi? dream of fortune and phi
lanthropy-was not more than $135
a year.
Even at this time, and with this
income, he built a tiny little founda
tion of hi3 own. Out of the sixty
cents a day, he set aside a few pen
nies for the church, or for eome hun
gry family, or to drop into some hat
that was passed around In the office.
The notebook ii. which those little
philanthropic entries were made is
still in existence. It is known by
the name of "Ledger A" in the Rock
efeller family. It is a completely
worn out little notebook, with bro
ken cover and tattered page? of
faded writing, but it is one of the
most precious treasures in the Rocke
feller vaults. It has more than a
personal interest now. It has sud
denly become historic, because it re
cords thevorlgin of "the most com
prehensive scheme of benevolence in
the whole history of humanity."
The managerial instinct was so
strong in this boy that he was not
satisfied with merely paying his share
into the .contribution boxes. By the
time he was nineteen he had ripened
into an organizer of benevolence.
He was a member of a mission
church, which was fast breaking
down under the weight of a $2000
mortgage. This sixty - cent - a - day
youth undertook to collect the
1 money, and he did it.
"That was a proud day," he said
in later years, "when the last dollar
was collected."
Little as he knew lt, the boy was
then at work upon the fulfilment of
his dream to become perhaps the
greatest getter, and the greatest giv
er, of his generation.
Later, when he became a prosper
ous man of business and large af
fairs, he still retained the habit of
organizing his giving as well as his
getting. He even' went so far as to
organize his family into a sort of
foundation. At the breakfast table
he would distribute the various ap
peals for help among his children,
requesting them to investigate each
case and make a report tc him on
j. the following" day. In this way his
children, and especially his son and
namesake, who is destined to distrib
ute the revenue of the Rockefeller
fortune, -r?ceiv?d 'a Spartan training
in "the difficult art of giving."
The whole bent of the Rockefeller
mind seems to have been Inclined
from the first toward the working
out of this problem of distribution.
The business of the Standard Oil
Company itself is much more a mat
ter of distribution than ot production.
It was unquestionably the first com
pany that undertook to sell its prod
uct directly to the users on a world
wide scale. For the most part, it de
livers its oil, not to wholesalers and
middlemen, but to the family that
burns it, whether it be in the United
? States or In the uttermost parts of
I the earth.. It has, for instance, no
r fewer thaa 3000 tank wagons travel
ing from door to door in the twenty
countries of Europe, selling pints and
[ quarts of liquid light to whosoever
I demands it. Fully :$1,000,000 a
I week, In foreign gold or its equiva
lent, comes to this country to pay for
the oil that is peddled to the doors
of hut and* palace, according to the
i Rockefeller plan of international dis
I tributlon.
Consequently, both by natural ap
titude and business experience, Mr.
Rockefeller was well prepared to
I work out the problem of distributing
I the surplus money ol the rich in a
[ systematic and efficient manner. His
new foundation is no afterthought.
It is no sudden change of mind or
change of heart. It ls the natural re
sult of fifty years of experience and
experiment. What he began to do as
a poor boy in a Cleveland boarding
house, he is nov.' about to complete
on an international scale-that is the
explanation of the nev/ plan that has
excited so much comment and so
much curiosity.

Country Newspaper Best.
"I believe one of the greatest fac
tors in the improvement of country
life will be the country newspapers,"
said Clarence H. Poe, editor bf the
Progressive Farmer of Raleigh, ii. C.,
in a recent address before the Hoard
Press club of the College of Agricul
ture of Wisconsin. In discussing the
influence which the graduate of an
agricultural college can exert in his
community and in outlining the field
of agricultural journalism Mr. Poe
pointed out the great need for farmers
in the various counties who would
write regularly for their local papers
or perhaps become editors of l*cal
papers interested in rural improve
ment.
"There is no method of reaching
the farmer that is quite so effective
as through his local newspaper," said
Mr. Poe. s ' ' Many of these have not
yet been awakened to the possibilities
of live agricultural columns." Ho
believes that the successful farmer oC
the future will he the leader in hi?7
community affairs and must aid hisr
fellow farmers by writing. While thr
general agricultural paper has a pW
and a mission, the local.newspaper hi
a great advantage due to its stro/

Dr. McAfee Tells New York I

New YorkiCity.-Three clergymen, I
all of the class of 1860, took part in
the baccalaureate service in the audl-l
torium of ,New York University.
These were j. the Rev. William H.
Phraner, of a?empstead, L. I. ; the
Rev. Dr. William H. Neilson, of Plain
field, N. J., and the Rev. Dr. John Mc
Vey, pastor emeritus of the North
Presbyterian Church, Binghamton, N.
Y. Chancellor Henry M. MacCrackeu
pronounced ;.the benediction and the
Rev. Dr. Cleland B. McAfee, pastor of
the Lafayette1 Avenue Presbyterian
Church, Brooklyn, preached the ser
mon. Thirty-four of the graduating
class were present to hear the fare
well sermon... Dr. McAfee said in
part:
"No systdm of society will prevent
what we see every day-young men
with every! opportunity, with full
powers, wita all inducements to man
liness, who iwill not be manly. The
Bowery crowd, the bread lines, the
assemblages pf the down and outs,
.are not made up of men who had no
chance. You find college men among
them. Lastjwinter a visitor who had
passed. through the same experiences
himself found {that two per cent, of
the men who made up one bread line
were college men. He found thirty
college men] of his own acquaintance

Syracuse,' N. Y.-There are so
many young men coursing about the
country; in:' automobiles, and their
pleasure absorbs such a large share of
the productive capital of the country,
that Chancellor 'James R. Day be
lieves it is becoming a question if the
automobile is not a curse to the cotm
try.
. The chancellor was speaking to the
graduating dass of Syracuse Uni
versity on self-sacrifice and self-de
nial, and he chose the automobile as
a "broad anc apparent Illustration"
of a luxury lhat too often is not sac
rificed.
"Young mechanics and clerks and
business mea," he said, "who need all
of their capital, are mortgaging their
homes by .tie thousand and losing
their positions often by their infatua
tion with this form of pleasure.
"It is sald that about $500,000,000
is invested in tie automobile trade,
and this enormous capital is non-pro
ductive, that is, it adds comparatively
nothing to the vealth of the people,
but, on the conrary, absorbs it. It
means ninety jer cent, of wasted
money and wased time. A certain

"I know thecrlticism that will be
sure to come btcause of what will be
called an attac: on a great industry,
but I address nyself to the abuse of
self-indulgence in a good thing
emphasize selfJenial."
Lack of selfdenial is accountable,
the chancellor believes, for a lower
marriage rate "If you want to
know," he said "why men marry less
than of old, prhaps the secret is in
the false whii of supporting a wife.
He cannot attrd to support a wife,
the bachelor ays. No woman ought
tc consent tobe such a wife. She
ought to say: 'I am not seeking or
consenting tc be supported. There
will be two ofus. If I cannot earn as

will plan togther.'

take account of the individual and,
what means more, that the individual
must take account of himself. The
only basis for a self-respect which
cannot be lost is a definite, implicit
recognition of the right of ? man's
conscience in his life.
"Men who are entering citizenship
to-day can take part in movements to
answer questions like these: Can a
new racial type be formed by sudden
blending in large proportions of the
people of all the earth? Will democ
racy work in a large way? Can the
nation herd together until the blend
ing take place? What is the limit of
safety in individual wealth in a
democracy? How shall a nation be
saved from imperialism in its period
of acquiring wealth? No nation has
yet been so saved. What can we
make peculiar in our own nation to
save it? The answers to these ques
tions lie in the assertion in individual
life, and so in public life of the old
fashioned and imperious claims of
conscience.
"And it is a hopeful place in which
to work. There is in this country a
hereditary strain of moral serious
ness. The biggest thing about the
American people is not pocket nor
head, but conscience, and any man
who has a clear cut moral appeal will
command a hearing and a following.
That is our safeguard. That insures

Dr. Day also declared that more

The Chancellor reviewed his pub

"Since these letters were published
Wesleyan University, more denomina
tional than we ever have been, has
been placed upon the Foundation!
We have been told that we could not
be accepted because we were gener
ally known to be a Methodist univer
sity. Is Wesleyan not so? Hobart
an Episcopalian college, Oberlin dis
tinctly Congregationalist, Rochester
Baptist, are all on this Foundation.
"Syracuse, with nothing in its char
ier requiring any one connected with
it to be a Methodist, with half its
faculty of other churches, with a ma
jority of students from other denom
inations, with absolutely no sectarian
sm about its spirit or work, is arbi
:rarlly excluded! And this is done in
:he name of liberalism as opposed to
larrowness and bigotry!
"There has been nothing more
comical or that is greater farcical
burlesque since the Puritans burned
ind hanged their fellow mortals for
liffering with them in religious opin
en.
"There is positive evidence that
:his erratic and inconsistent admin
3tration of the Carnegie Pension
Foundation does not represent the
ntention or spirit of Mr. Carnegie,
vho gave us, with no religious or em
jarrasslng restrictions, the largest

'or a general library."
Denounces Insurgents.
Ch?ncellor Day severely arraigned
he insurgent Republicans in Con

"We believe that but for the insane
issault upon the commerce of the

igns of immediate relief, as the poli

Swallowed Needle, Died Years Later.
Roanoke, Va., Special.-At Land
graff, W. Va., a negro woman named
Miranda Meeks, died suddenly fol
lowing a quarrel with her husband.
An autopsy was held and it was dis
cvoered that a needle had pierced the
woman's heart. A close examination
failed to reveal anything indicating
that the needle had gone through her
body. Her husband was arrested aud
held, but later .released.
Physicians gave it as their opinion
that the woman had swallowed the
neodle, perhaps when a child. and
that it finally worked its way to the
heart, which, together with the excite
ment caused her death.
